I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

Very pretty. I just hope it’s a sunset and not a fire. Summer in California makes us think that way.

I completely understand, Rosi and as someone who previously lived through fires and evacuation in Colorado, I hesitate to share a sunset picture without labeling it! Yes, it was last night’s sunset.

I echo Rosi’s comment. That’s what I thought too!

Thanks, Jilanne! Sunsets were one of the many reasons living in Colorado was so wonderful and they are rarely worth photographing here.
